An Oklahoma man said it’s a miracle he’s even alive after being side-swiped by an 18-wheeler and knocked into oncoming traffic while driving to work.

Talking only to KOCO, Ruben Marquez said the driver that hit him never even stopped, even after the collision that Marquez said nearly killed him.

“It was very frightening, and like I said, I was saying, ‘God please help me, four times is said it,” Marquez said. “My only plea is to ask the truck driver to come forward and do the right thing or if somebody saw it because there were a lot of Tinker folks going to work.”

Marquez said he was driving westbound on I-40 just past Harrah before 6 a.m. when the truck collided with his Honda Prelude.

“I ended up in the center median facing the traffic, so I ended up crossing the freeway,” Marquez said. “The impact was so hard, I was thinking about the situation of becoming a pinball.”

Marquez said the fact he is still alive is an act of God. He now hopes someone who witnessed the accident will call police with details on the runaway driver.

“My car’s so small compared to an 18-wheeler. There’s no match, so to me it’s a miracle that I’m standing here.”
